rack.

o hold the fabric One of the objects of this invention is to provide a seat molding which may be made of metal or other suitableV material and whichmay be used to cover the edges of the seat fabric on the under side -of chairs, particularly theater chairs.

Another object of this invention is to provide a seat molding to cover the lexposed edges Vof the seat fabric and which is also adapted to retain a wire hat rack in operative position.

Another object of this invention` is to provide a seat molding which will cover the edges of the seat fabric, r rack inoperative position, Vformed as to be resiliently the seat and which also is etain a wire hat and which is so clamped against so formed as to constitute a convenient hand grip for raising the seat.

Further objects, advantages and capabilities will later more fully` appear and are inherently possessed by the invention.

While I have shown inthe accompanying drawing a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be understood that the' same is susceptible of modification and change without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Referring tothe drawing spective view of a section of a seat showing the molding in perspective. Fig. 2 is a plan view of s, Fig. l` is a perthe bottom of a seat showing the molding in place a'ndso retaining a hat rack..

' Fig. 3 is an end elevation in Fig. 2.

of the seat shown to retain, as illustrated in Fig. l, the wire hat rack 2. The manner of gripping the ends of the hat rack may, of course, be varied, the

channel disclosed being th struction.-

e preferred con- The opposite edge of the molding is fashioned as at 3 to frictionally engage with the edge of seat fabricused for covering the seat.

In accordance with the disclosure of Fig. l,

the' edge \of the seat fab-ric is 'not only engaged frictionally and held in place, but the edges of the fabric which wouldv otherwise be exposed are covered` by theV entire molding. The resilient shoulder 4 serves asa convenient hand grip for raising ythe seat and also serves as the means thru which pressure may be resiliently exerted to hold the portion in engagement with the seat fabric. In order that the molding may be fastened to the seatand so that the channel 1 and the edge 3 may be held in operative position, the resilient portion 5 is connected to the seatby means of nails 6 or other'suitable connecting means. The resilience of the portion 5y provides adequate pressure for the above purposes. p

It is contemplated that this molding may be made of metal which will have the resilient characteristics desired or the molding may be made of other Vsuitable material.

Having shown and described my invention,

I claim: 1. A seat molding comprising means for yretaining a wire hat raclrin operative position against a seat, means for frictionally retaining seatV fabric on the seat, and means forresiliently holding the first two said means in their operative positions on the seat.

2. A seat molding comprising a portion adapted to cover and enga-ge an' edge of a seat fabric on a seat, another portion adapt' ed to retain a wire hat rack in operative position, a resilient portion between the first"- two said portions, and means for connecting said resilient portion to the seat to yieldingly urge the first'two said portions toward lthe seat;

3. A seat molding having a channel for retaining the ends of a wire hat rack and having means for yieldingly clamping a seat fabric against a seat.

,4. A seat molding comprising means for retaining a hat rack in operative position, a portion adapted to @over and engagean edge of a .seat fabric on a sent und adapted to serve :is :i convenient hand grip, and ineens :for resiliently retaining the iirsb said ineens and seid portion in operati ve position 011 the seat.

A seat molding comprising :i portion having :i channel for retaining u het rack in operative position, n. portion adapted to urge a seat fabric against a sont surface, means for connecting' the molding to the sont t0 yieidingly retain said portions in operative position7 and :L resilieniJ projecting shoulder on the seid second portion connecting it to said ineens. p

In witness whereof, l hereunto subscribe my naine to this speeiiicnition.
